This was prime RDA too. He won 5 straight before this fight & 5 straight after this including the lightweight belt from Pettis.
Yea I thought this is where he would lose to elite strikers that are good everywhere. Lost my sure bet lol 😂
actually the first two rounds were quite competitive. ok, Khabib was on top but didn't do much damage, I could see RDA maybe pulling some TKO.But it was the third one which really sealed it, that throw was money.
@@vladiinsky It was bound to happen eventually. RDA held his own for the first two rounds but Khabib is inevitable.
Respect for RDA. He really had good fight.
Cant wait for his next fight!!!
for people who aren't aware, this is when rafael was in BEAST MODE. he won five straight before this fight, then five after to win the lightweight belt. this, imo is one of khabibs most impressive victories. rafael dos anjos was unstoppable at this point in his career.
Starched Bendo and absolutely mauled Nate Diaz after this. RDA had everything, dangerous striking and grappling, cardio, an iron chin, and he was the gold standard of a pressure fighter.
@@Chopper51138 I would have liked to see a 165lb division. At least at this current time, I think he depletes himself a bit to make 155 now and he’s too small to seriously compete at 170.
@@jeffhabib6673 165 would be such a great division, so many guys who just don’t fit at LW or WW. RDA, Kevin Lee, Nate Diaz, Masvidal, and many more. I feel like Colby or Burns would likely rule that division though. Neither have any trouble at all making 170, and are already near the top of the food chain at welterweight.
@@Chopper51138 I know. It’s a shame. Making welterweight 175 as well would be a good thing too. You’re right about Colby/Burns. They would probably dominate. Wonder Boy might actually be someone who would move to 165. Lightweight and welterweight are probably the deepest divisions. At least they are up there so they would have no problems filling that division up.
"Unstoppable"
I am certain that you don't know the meaning of that word. "Unstoppable" actually means that you cannot be beaten. Glad to give you a better understanding of the English language.
this is young Khabib, vs prime RDA, and people still deny the greatness of this man, there is no one at LW even up till now can beat this man, not Oliveira, not even Makhachev, he is once in a lifetime talent, too good of a mma wrestler and grappler, outstanding fight iq, titanium chin, beast cardio, ferocious gnp, elusive defensive stand up, case closed..
Also RDA is strongest grappler Khabib ever face
And then people think he only fight striker
@@Silent43192 his entire career is all strikers and nobodies. Zero wrestlers
Yes i think khabib is The G.O.A.T,🙌
He spars with Machachev almost everyday and Machachev says that Khabib wins almost all
@@LinkLegend0 khabib weighs more. Im sure khamzat would beat khabib
Not only did Nurmagomedov win all 29 of his fights, but even every single decision victory was unanimous. In every way, this guy was the best.
This Arab is tough.....
@@crimeson7218 he is a Russian not an Arab
and he never bled, not one bloody node even, He is the GOAT
I don't think so. He clearly was losing against Tibau. No hate for the eagle but that fight Tibau was robbed.
Your right 29 pro fights and he still couldn't fight, thank goodness for wrestling it's all the poor guy had..😅
"I'm gonna wrestle him all day. Make him tired. Make him tap. This is my plan."
Khabib to every opponent.
And still they can't do shit, absolutely insane
Well this is soo boring
@@sidneygpaiva_sgp casual 💩
@@sidneygpaiva_sgp its mma not boxing or a circus fight to kill. Go watch boxing
i am going to smesh
Khabib’s stand up is sneaky good because he has everyone so scared about the takedown, he can catch a lot of guys with hooks and overhands, especially when he fakes the level change
He isn't a great striker, but the threat of getting taken down by him is so ridicilous high that he can utilize the fear of his opponent to land good shots here and there.
Also he's less tired in practically every minute he's spent in the UFC. He haven't eaten bunch of shots to the head so he's fearless attacking.
You understand the game well
@@D-D_AA Lol no u are just making excuses for Mcgregor, Khabib is a better boxer than Mcgregor, i know it, i box as well.
Nah, Khabib has an unorthodox and non-smooth defense style. It looks like the punches are landing but he's actually deflecting them and dodging (look up the vid abt his defense and striking).
He's a good striker.
The fact that this man Khabib went 29-0 only lost 1 or 2 rounds. Never been cut, bruised, never bled. Just insane.
U don't cut or bleed when u lay on top of people
@@Christopher-bh4gx true you just break peoples faces and put them to sleep or make em tap out
@@Christopher-bh4gx If it works, it works. Don't know why people think this is a diss.
@@Christopher-bh4gx is it illegal? Its like other stricker fighters are too afraid to grasplre, hence they strike
Also, there are lot of worldclass wrestlers like Dc, chael, gsp,,, all of them bleed and they bleed alot
Khabib never lost bruh
In the UFC world where everyone bleed..This is the guy who never bled...Khabib the 🦅🦅🦅
And there would be guys saying he only wrestles whole this man went toe to toe with elite fighters kn stand up and they making an excuse for him not getting bled shows how great he is
Dog khabib the worst champ ever
@cocieto5139 A man who had 3 Title defenses by finishing all 3 opponents is worst champ!? Wipe you tears mate
@cocieto5139 cry more
😂😂
To give you guys some context here, this is RDA in his prime, RDA went on a 10-1 (only loss being to Khabib here) streak, winning the LW belt. He was thoroughly dominated by a young Khabib who was not even in his prime yet.
1:10 hit him on the back!
Yeah … but people still cares about his title defence )
@@nft3 ?
I think he got more dominant after this his wrestling
wait, wait a minute, i don't see the same fight to you watching.. RDA completely dominated? Nice joke hahaha
Honestly this fight was the fight that sold me on the eagle being the best in the division he man handled rda who happens to be one of the most well rounded and respected fighters in the decade honestly a real world class warrior who can do it all and it was like a field day for khabib
Great comment but punctuation is important, Austin lol.
RDA was beast in that time, i like to watch his fights even today, classy.
Austin Martinez not just best in the division but possibly best pound for pound, khabib never lost a fight EVER from when he started mma all the way to present ufc
rda wasn't on his peak at that time
@@Ajax222able he won the LW gold after this
khabib pressure is insane ! out of this world .
Dustin said it before
Absolutely right
@Bill of Rights lol you alright there bud?
I am a blue belt Jiu-Jitsu (more like yellow now) but back in a day I remember these fucken relentless wrestlers guys that I had to roll with...what a nightmare!
@@regularnormal 😂
I remember this fight as the "real" test for Khabib. In my mind if he could beat RDA, especially at this point in time, it would cement him as "that dude" at least in my mind. RDA was arguably the most well rounded lightweight and was in absolute beast mode going 10-1 during this streak with this being his one loss. I was impressed of course and even more so now looking back at it. Khabib is just the most dominant. I get goosebumps watching Islam fight because of the similarity in styles but man what a legend. both of them.
Your right about that this definitely was one of Nurmagomedov‘s real test before his actual debut when he got noticed by the world!
100%. These are those huge early on tests that either break or solidify a rising talent.
Idk if u watched these legends rise but if it is it would have been a great memory
Yeah... Khabib is one tough Arab.
@@crimeson7218how dumb are you? Khabib isn't Arab, Islam does not = Arab, he's Russian
And this was the prime RDA. He's on a 5 fight win streak and after loosing to khabib he again went on a 5 fight win and became champ!
And he was the underdog. Everyone knew how good was Khabib since then
and it's also revealed later RDA tested positive used enhancer drug for this fight. Still got mauled. How crazy is that.
No way right? This just a troll comment?
how come nobody can spell lose or losing anymore?
It's not like prime rda was something legendary lol
12:34 let's take a second to appriciate the beauty of this takedown
And did you notice after that, Khabib stood right up into and on his palm, then and pinned his hand with the botton of his frickin' FOOT!? Unreal.
@@andrewhuber3844 OH jeeez I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THAT UNTIL NOW. Khabib really is on his own level man
@@andrewhuber3844 Wow
MashaAllah Khabib bro..
O sota gari
This was RDA in the middle of his prime, 11 months before he won the world title while Khabib was out injured
Najib Rahman yupp, at this point he was on a 5 fight win streak and after this he went on another 5 fight win streat.. he was 10-1 this time around, khabib mauled him
Dos Anjos won the belt 1 year (in 2015) later having 4 fights... whilst Khabib next fight was after 2 years (2016). If Khabib never got injured during that time we could have had around 5-6 years of prime Khabib fighting and defending the belt.
We’d have witnessed him bully Connor instead of him being double champ too
@@ajreyna2350yeah. Such a shame he faced a couple of injuries and hospitalizations
He and Conor stole Tony's belt by being too inactive
@@oppenheimer2822tony wouldn’t and never will touch gold lmao, he’s not champ material he would got ragdolled by khabib lol
@@oppenheimer2822well Tony wouldn't have had a chance vs Khabib. I love Tony but he always got hit and Lee took him down at ease. I'm not even a huge Khabib fan but he would have submitted Tony. Tony really needs 2 retire after his next fight vs Chiesa win or lose.
Whenever a Black Belt BJJ Master is trying to avoid grappling, the probability is high that he is fighting Khabib.
is RDA a BJJ master?
GTA LEGEND TV I mean he’s a black belt
@@aslanieunda6447 you can hear joe rogan says rda is bb on jiu jitsu
@Steve Barnes that's stupid it's just another form of grappling and it applies to MMA better because of the striking and BJJ has the emphasis on subs. I'd love for khabib to move up in weight and go against the guys like Maia and diaz or even finally compete against Tony who has dangerous BJJ. It would be interesting for sure
Let Me Get Uhhh I think Steve Barnes refers to the T-Shirt worn by Khabib with this statement on it
He’s been doing this for his entire life. He’s fully aware when someone attempted an armbar, triangle, guillotine, kimura. Dos Anjos really tried everything there
Khabiib puts shame to jutjitsu
@@noworrries2472 it’s not the jiu jitsu that is lacking RDA’s jiu jitsu isn’t the same level as khabib wrestling. I believe oliveira can put khabib to sleep
@@Theaibasics islam vs oliveira would answer that
@@Theaibasics I watched him fight. I guess he cant compete with khabiib. Khabiib never bled because he fights with his mind and emotional balance.
@@noworrries2472 sure but you could make the same argument about lot of fighters who’s had only 13 fights in the UFC. Even paulo costa and chris weidman are on that list because they also were 12-0 and extremely dominant till they got defeated. Khabib ran away scared of defeat
The look in their eyes when Khabib sticks to them like a leach is priceless
Yes it's funny, they're like oh... shit help me please... you can see it with the chicken, Poirier and others.
Exactly, that's it.
Top of my list for one tuff MMA specialist, earned his undefeated record, khabib prayers for you and your family,much respect your way ,your dad's smiling from heaven your way, 🙏🙏🙏 amen amen amen
For those who don't know. Khabib beat rda here in 2014, then he got injured and rda became champion in 2015. Alot of fans knew how good khabib was for a while but he was always injured, he finally got his fame in 2018
If he never got injured conor would haven’t have ever got that ufc belt
@@1x403 conor in his prime would beat khabibb
@@siddhantx740 I see conors delusion spills over to his fans
@@siddhantx740 he beat prime conor
Connor made him famous....stop missing that part...look at how oliveira is a champ but no one gives an f about him....had it not been for connor...this whole khabib this and that would not exist
This was the fight that made me realize that Khabib’s grappling technique was world-class.
were you still in doubt?
Usman couldn't grapple with Khabib. I think the only person that could potentially handle him was the Great GSP! ^_^
Not world class ..
Beyond the world

It is all determination. He is so determined to win. As determined, if not more determined than anyone Ive ever seen in any sport. Thats why he is the best. Combine willpower and determination to train, fight and win and you get Khabib.

That's why Khabib canceled 3 fights with Tony. Undisputable facts.
@@alexmendoza9270 cso
@@alexmendoza9270 Actually one or two of those Tony cancelled himself. I think it was actually Khabib cancelled one, Tony cancelled one, and the other one was poor communication, they didn't realise it was going to happen and they were stuck in dagestan.

I guess he might refer to including a wider Variety of techniques. if he actually got better and stronger would be actualllly guck fucking scary. might make the whole division pointless

@@karimshebeika8010
He said he saw some mistakes he used to make and that he fixed them.
The Ref telling rda to do something when he was defending a takedown 😂😂😂😂
and telling khabib to work when he was mauling dos Anjos 3 minutes straight in the 3rd
I think Mcaarthy was telling him to work out of that position himself because he wasn't going to separate them
"mauling"?? "Mailing" as in trying to wear on RDA or being in his guard? Because there's no point in this fight where Khabib was just landing ground and pound continuously like he was against Barboza, McGregor, Dustin and so on
@@jackforpresident22 so maybe you dont understand a word called improving
What a beast Khabib is! I miss this guy..
Just send him lokaton
To think Islam Makhachev right now is a much better fighter right now than Khabib was in this fight. If you miss Khabib, get your fill form him.
@@fahadus No offense tho Islam but the fact he got KoD is hard for us to forgot
@@Vulture2918 6 years ago? Anyone can get caught man. Just see how far that guy went and how far Makhachev has come since. Definitely a bad night. Every fight since and before he's won. And he was rocked bad but a lot if fighters have made a comeback within the fight by being rocked like that. Just look at the last Gaethje Chandler fight. Oliveira won the belt after bring rocked like that. Don't let this cloud your judgment of a great fighter. He will reign the LW division inshaAllah for a very long time. I'd you think getting caught reduces a champion you'd be left with nothing but Khabib in the end. Everyone's been shut down every now and then.
casuals like islam more cause he didnt embarrass their babyboy mcgregor
Completely dominating him grappling
Look at the defense of RDA , insanely good. Plus he enters round 2 and isn't even out of breath. Madly good athlete.
RDA at his prime clearly was a beast, his resume clearly better than Charles Oliviera, both possesed Black Belt BJJ, but casuals dont know about this.

Yeah. He has something extra going on.

He is just so relentless non stop.
dos Anjos faught an incredible fight against a "next level" fighter.....and has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to be ashamed of in my book!! Congratulations to you Rafael!!! D

That was such beautiful takedown
Khabib was the art of the sport.
This was obviously a clean loss for Dos Anjos but what really impressed me was that he kept fighting, never totally gassed out and consistently got back up to his feet. Nothing but hispect and Khabib was just on a different level.
But looking at the end of rd 3 if it was a 5 round fight khabib would've finished him latet.
Correction : he was surviving
Khabib really wasn't doing anything but holding him. There was no reason for Dos Anjos to not keep fighting. There was no real threat.

The only people I’ve ever really seen hate on or talk down on, Khabib and his style are people who don’t understand the technical side of mma.

only boring for people who are noob in mma
It's not only boring but it's down right cowardly, Conor Mcgregor said it best "You hold on to the legs for dear life"
🦁☝👍✊💪Legend 1
This guy brought millions of new fans for the UFC
Here in Indonesia what make people come actually was conor McGregor. People really want to see the bad guy/cocky/asshole lose but luckly Khabib was also humble and likeable person

Yeah RDA is badass!
This RDA was also in his prime while Khabib wasn’t even close to it yet. He’s that damn good
No man, RDA was in his prime when he was on TRT and was a dominant champ and untouchable. After USADA he is not the same. Still one of the best but not enough to beat Khabib.
@@princemax3570 just going the distamce with khabib shows how good he is
@@princemax3570
RDA has one successful title defense
his incredible run for the title was within 11 months after losing to Khabib, RDA would've been on 10 wins streak had he not fought Khabib who caught him right in middle of it, so he won 5 stright including a win overDonald Cerrone, lost to Khabib and within 11 months he won the title and managed to win another 5 straight including wins over Benson Henderson, Nate Diaz, Anthony Pettis and Donald Cerrone again.
RDA was in his absolute prime
@@princemax3570 that was trt rda u idiot, this was before usada
yup, RDA is on a winning streak during this time....
12:34 - That takedown is a beauty
Yes
Art
Judo my friend
The most underrated martial art
The mass in one sense...
Matematic.. Sample.. 🤣
That's not a takedown. It's actually called a trip
This was the fight that told me "Yeah, this guy is going to be the Champion."
Rogan: "I just wanna see, who has the style to deal with this guy?"
Years later, we're all still wondering...
*laughs in El Cucuy*
Michael Landon Bear Khabib beats Mcgregor 9 times out of 10. If the rematch is the 1 time out of 10 then he’ll win. Otherwise he’ll get mauled again. It’s true that Mcgregor is superior on the feet and that Khabib is lightyears ahead in the grappling but guess who determines whether the fight is standing or on the ground, Khabib. Styles make fights.
El cucuy cant even stop kevin lee. but still some delusional fans think he can beat khabib...there is absolutely no way tony beats khabib
Khabib is very bad match up for tony stylistically . The only competition to khabib is islam makhachev in whole ufc
@@touyb75 tony was saved by the bell in round 1. And i am just pointing towards the wrestling pedigree.tony is a great fighter but khabib is greatest and far superior stylistically
@@najib9093 Tbh Connor is not far superiour on the feet in MMA. In boxing/kickboxing vs Khabib, sure, but not in MMA.
Khabib is the only fighter to beat the system.
Dana, the ref, the commentators, the crowd, the Nevada State Athletic Commission, the UFC were all against Khabib.
But he still won in vicious style.
No other fighter in UFC history faced that kinda pressure. That’s why Khabib is the GOAT.
los derrotó y después de que amaban a Khabib, no querían que Khabib dejara UFC.. That is the most relevant victory, defeated each fighter and the system.
How so ? Seems like he had a decent fan base
the thing abt khabib that he never gas out….consistence energy thru all the rounds
Khabib is a fight technician. His skills are just unmatched.
this is an impressive win for khabib, but not as impressive as John Cena defeating 29 other men in a Royal Rumble match to claim the WWE championship belt
@@ufcisfakeandstagedwweisrea1749 brilliant 😂
UFC IS FAKE AND STAGED WWE IS REAL John would still kick out at two
He’s strong in the clinch but he also knows when to position himself after the takedown to keep you from escaping based on the position in the cage and your body orientation. Masterful!
That eagle uppercut is Khabib’s version of the gazelle hook. Closed distance (used flying switch knee as he developed) and was EXTREMELY explosive!
"Rafael dos Anjos is a great wrestler, but khabib is on another level" - Joe Rogan
Anjos gave really a tough fight to khabib.
Anjos gave Khabib his toughest fight IMO. Everybody got to used to BJJ fights that they don't know what to do against a guy that ain't going for submissions all the time, and is just taking them for a ride to run them out of gas.
"Have you tried DMT?" - Also Joe Rogan
this was khabib's one of the finest tactical fight . closing the distance ,constant pressure ,not over comitting totally point based win against rda.
That's what khabib father said in a russian interview
@@UmarKhan-qo6hd i didn't know about that thanks for mentioning nurmagomedov senior
@B Bracken imagine if LW top wrestlers face to face and throw punches not takedowns just like usman vs covington
The only way I see anyone having a chance on beating Khabib is standing up
@ You Mad Bitch?

Not shredded body, no muscles , just pure skill and High IQ fight.
Gained a tremendous amount of respect for Rafael. He didnt get finished. He showed heart. Hats off.
I've this 20x and I'm still in disbelief of how good he is. Especially what he did to RDA at 12:36......to RDA!!! Crazy!!!! Khabib is the GOAT!!!!
He is a MONSTER
Doing that to A black belt BJJ master is impressive
His stand up suck
One of the goats, definitely nowhere near of being the goat, Rousey has twice the title defenses he has 🤷🏻♂️
@@JRF1004 Rousey is a horrible example of people more goatworthy than khabib (shes not even the greatest among women). GSP and silva wouldve been better examples
"He makes great grapplers look like amateurs"
Yeah like u
Kiem Rosly you too pussy 😂😂😂🤝
Jon Holmes why you so mad pussy he’s just saying how khabib is good at wrestling 😂😂😂😂
Jon Holmes fun fact my iq is actually a 125 so take the L bum 🤣🤝
Jon Holmes it actually is 125 😂😂😂 and I don’t live in my moms basement I live in the attic
You cant get enough of this guy you always dig for more 🔥
6:49 Khabib said that when RDA got him in that choke he made a sound like he's getting choked to get RDA to keep squeezing and tire his arms out, he's crazy 😂😂
Same to Dustin, haha gave him his neck. Isn't he fucking awesome haha
that's the plan, get them tired and once they let go, he pounces! The 'ol fakery.
@@hikoseijuro9291 "Make him a little bit tired" Khabib always says something like this when journalists ask his plan for the next opponent
Idk if I believe that I think he was in a little trouble there if you look at his right hand at 6:45 it’s like he almost taps with his right hand. I know that wasn’t a tap but it looked like he was definitely struggling
12:34 is all i gotta say. Sick sick sick.
This fight made me realize how good khabib was and would eventually become the champ
I eat one big turd a day. And small turd for snacks at night 🤠
@@steshar2975 are the bigger ones tastier or are the smaller one tastier?
That reversal throw at 12:35 is insane 🔥
This is why Khabib value Judo so much.
zg©©ffxXUXXHHRHZHHJXHXJXXU
Judo > BJJ
That was crazy! Khabib was like, you wanna try take me down?? Haha
The amount of strength that takes is immense and to then control your opponent after is even harder.
Man, imagine Khabib's strength! To hold an elite athlete like RDA down with muscles (and techniques of course) is just next level.
Energy diffrence is a thing, but energy managment is something else.
The way he lifted him up and held him for the initial takedown was feat too, he just held him patiently until he had him
Legenda. 1
He needs to fight Anthony Pettis - Joe Rogan
It would have been brutal for Pettis
Japheth Bartholomew pettis is a beast in his own right
@@hunchoboss617 Nah he'd have been brutalized
Pettis would have been rag dolled. I like pettis too.
Dos Anjos made Pettis look like a puppy, Imagen Khabib.
@@Khabiblightweightgoat I hate that MMA math. It doesn't work like that bro.
12:36 ... Im speechless. Its just beautiful to watch
Made me wanna learn judo asap.
Khabib combines multiple grappling arts like wrestling, Judo, jiu jitsu, sambo etc that just makes him really good.
The dude grew up in Mma Jym in one of the most dangerous places in Russia
Man the way Khabib manhandle RDA is something
Shoutout to the ufc for making us fans happy with these free fights 😉💪🏼
Baby you gotta work work work work work LMAO, leave the man alone he's dominating in every possible way.
3 things that made Khabib the GOAT of this sport are:
1: Power (Physical Strength)
2: Stemina and
3: Heart ❤️❤️❤️
You should add 1 more
4- Never got a cut in a extreme violence fighting even sport after 29-0
He like ladies 😆😆😆 caughtly fight not fare
The real 3 things are nothing because he’s not the goat and isn’t even close to being tor goat💀
@@Sahil4N cant take u seriously if ur Khabib goat argument is he never got cut💀 shows a lack of understanding and context of his career. 80% of which was against unranked bums
@@Sahil4N and he’s just not the goat. 3 title defenses. Jones has more title fights then Khabib has fights in the ufc. Nothing more needs to be said.
Khabib’s father said this is Khabib’s best win. RDA went onto become champion after this too.
Rda is a gatekeeper
Brian CTE City Ortega RDA was def not a gatekeeper here he went on a huge winning streak after this. He may not be the best now but right here RDA was not a ”gatekeeper”
Brian CTE City Ortega a world champion gatekeeper
@@theylieabouteverything1859 at 170 i agree. at 155 he was the dominate champ tho
How didn't khabib?
RDA went on to be a champion after this fight. If Khabib wasn’t injured, history could have been so different. Conor probably wouldn’t have become a double champion.
Conor would still have become double champ He was more focused then
